in the background of Bender's party scene. When Devo appear, they are asked to play "Whip It", their most successful single. Refusing, they decide to play "the other one" and perform "Beautiful World", one of only a few singles of theirs to find mainstream success. Near the end of the episode, Fry divides the wave of waste in two, preventing it from hitting the mutants and saying "let my people stay", which is the reference to the Crossing of the Red Sea and the "Go Down Moses" song. After this happens, one mutant says "Are we not men!", a reference to Devo's song "Jocko Homo", which includes the lyric "Are we not men? We are Devo", and also to their first album, Q. Are We Not Men? A. We Are Devo!. Broadcast and reception "The Mutants Are Revolting" originally aired on Comedy Central on September 2, 2010. In its original broadcast, "The Mutants Are Revolting" was viewed by an estimated population of 1.792 million with a 1.2 rating/2% share in Nielsen ratings and a 0.9 rating/2% share in the 18–49 demographic, going down two tenths of a point from the previous week's episode "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences". The episode was met with generally positive reviews from critics. Alasdair Wilkins of io9 gave the episode a positive review, calling it "brilliant" and writing, "'The Mutants are Revolting' is another excellent addition, with Futurama's customary mix of jokes, emotions, and wild ideas." Carlos Delgado of iF Magazine gave the episode a B, stating that it "was good, but not on par with the best episodes of the season. It did, however, meet all the criteria of what makes a good Futurama episode. There was the goofy and fun premise involving the two primary characters of the show, Fry and Leela. More importantly, Futurama takes full advantage of the fact that it is animated and set far in the future. And, of course, there’s the usual witty banter and quirky one-liners that permeate every corner of the show. These elements combined to give us a nice farewell to a successful comeback season." Robert Canning of IGN gave the episode a positive review, rating it an 8.5/10. Canning described "The Mutants Are Revolting" as a solid and funny, quality episode, but felt that it did not have the landmark feel of a 100th episode. Merrill Barr of Film School Rejects gave the episode a positive review,
